CHAPTER FIFTEEN

It was after dark now, and he was almost to St. Louis. The long drive had been more exhausting than Kenji was prepared for. If he did get arrested again, he'd at least be able to get some rest before ending this vision and trying again. But first, he'd agreed to meet Colonel Kenslir.

He'd been following the directions on his phone to the meeting place Colonel Kenslir had suggested. Initially, Kenji had been a little worried about meeting in the middle of nowhere, but he reminded himself he could now end his visions whenever he wanted. He'd play along as long as it took to get this right.

A long, two lane road off the interstate led him deep into farm country. There wasn't a whole lot of activity in the area this time of night, so when Kenji saw a roadblock up ahead, he was more than a little concerned.

"Mr. Nakayama?" a State Trooper asked when Kenji rolled his window down.

The young psychic nodded quietly, bracing for a taser or nightstick or whatever was going to be used against him.

Instead, the Trooper pointed ahead and to the left. "Take that gravel road there. They're waiting for you."

Kenji nodded, confused, but took his foot off his brake pedal and eased his parents' car forward. The headlights showed a small break in the fenceline—a gravel road just as the Trooper had indicated. Without the roadblock, he'd have likely driven right past it.

The going was a lot slower on the old road. Several times he heard gravel scrape on the floorboards of his parents' sedan as the small car bottomed out. Eventually, he came to the end of the road—where two black SUVs sat waiting. A single agent in black windbreaker and slacks stood waiting outside the SUVs.

"Mr. Nakayama?" the agent asked as Kenji rolled to a stop again.

"Yes?"

The agent reached in a pocket of his windbreaker. Kenji relaxed when the agent pulled out a small flashlight and offered it to him.

"There's a small barn over that way," the agent said, pointing. "Watch your step. Your contact is running behind, but will be here shortly."

Kenji took the flashlight then switched off the ignition and exited his car. He used the small light to illuminate the ground as he walked through nearly knee-high grass. As his eyes adjusted, he finally made out the shape of a ramshackle barn against the skyline.

He looked the barn over carefully, noting the barn doors were fastened by a padlock. He checked his watch, unsure what else to do.

After several minutes in the cold night air, Kenji heard a flapping noise above him. He looked up, his eyes straining against the night sky. Finally, he was able to make out the source of the sound. A man parachuting down out of the night sky.

The skydiver landed lightly, walking to a stop, then quickly turning and reeling in his parachute. He disconnected from the chute, then tucked the bundled fabric under his arm and headed toward Kenji.

"Colonel?" Kenji asked, shining his light at the newcomer.
